Yes that’s why it’s potentially less dangerous. Surface area. You may survive a horse flying at you at 50 km/h, but a battery will take your head clean off.

    Surface area.

    Surface area has little to do with this equation, it's the mass; a flying horse will have much more inertia behind it, even at lower speeds.

    more inertia behind it

    And what do you think happens when that inertia has 5000x the surface area to disperse that energy….?

    Also, you seriously need explained the difference between something that is deformable and something that isn’t?
